Coal.

Very interesting. Britain’s empire was largely built on coal, the working classes thrived on it. Sure there was human tragedy in it, and lots of pollution in it. The industry, along with heavy steel industry, was destroyed from within by the government during 1970's to 1990's. In Scotland some of the most efficient mines under the sea were flooded in act of sabotage. Oil burning power stations (since dismantled) were built to defeat the Miners Unions and the electricity super grid upgraded to allow said oil power stations to contribute during winters of discontent -g-

In all the properties I owned I kept a low tech stove and a bunker with coal in it for back up purposes. I am not an anti coal person. However I prefer my fish not to have trace mercury in it, especially sardines, and there is a long history of real respiratory disease associated with particulates and pollution from coal. If I was around in London during the 1950’s I would happily wear a mask every day and it would need to be changed often. Even crappy masks.

A clean coal technology would be a real winner, something I would support.

Speaking of mining MINA is approx $3.2, I tried to buy as test amount, but my order was rejected for "too many orders". Ah well, a new amount it will be issued for sale monthly I believe. No mad rush needed. My funds are in place, thats the important thing. About $0:30 would be nice price to get in at. Same as CSPR. Brother has pilot amount of CSRP now. He will be studying it, I expect, I will be sending him info to get started.
